Memorial Day Weekend Trip to AZ

By
    I've got some blogging to catch up on.  My hope is that one day I'll be able to look back on this blog and remember the great and sometimes not so great moments of my life.
   Recently we had an awesome trip to AZ!  Over Memorial Day weekend my sister Julia and I took our babies (Emily and Mckenzie) to Arizona.  We met up with my mom and dad.  We had lots of fun eating In-n-out Burger, hanging out with the Millers, getting to meet my cousin Kaylynn's two boys, and spending time up in Pine with Nora, Wayne, Grandma, and Grandpa.  Before heading up to Pine we got to see where my Grandparents live.  They moved over a year ago from Hawaii to Gilbert, Arizona.  They live in this cute, well-kept retirement community.  They have a great house and friends nearby.
     I love my Clemmer Grandparents.  I feel very lucky that I was able to grown up so close to them.  I would regularly ride my bike or take a walk to their house.  I would call my grandma almost on a daily basis and we'd call each other and say, "what's new girlfriend?"  I have lots of great memories at their Hawaii house.  Fishing at their dock.  Taking barge rides and grandpa letting me drive the barge.  Swimming in their pool.  I would beg grandma to swim with me, and sometimes she would, I loved it.  They always had good chips or ice cream at their house.  :)  I spent the night at their house a couple of times when my parents were out of town.  My grandma would wake me up before school and ask, "what do you want for breakfast?"  I was delighted that I had my choice of pancakes, waffles, toad in a hole, whatever I wanted!  They spoiled me for sure.  I also remember by grandma drove really fast.  I'm not sure why.  But she was a speed racer.
   So glad we made this trip to visit everyone in Arizona.  Here's some pics:
Plane ride to AZ.  Both babies are asleep! Yes!
First stop: In n out burger baby!

Second stop was to the Miller's house.  Here's everyone with their baby... :)
Thanks for taking pictures Julia!

It's a Good Life

Happy Father's Day to Justin!  I honestly think he is the best husband and dad that I could ever ask for.  Did you know that when Channing wakes up randomly at night all I have to do it shake Justin awake and he'll go take care of it?  Yes, I am lucky.  Dinner was steak, asparagus, and bacon wrapped corn.  Mmmmm.  I love the new things Channing learns everyday.  The other day he saw me use an oven mitt and had to give it a try.   Yesterday I walked around the mall, shopped at Target, and got a strawberry limeade from Sonic.  It was fun.  But then Channing didn't want to take a second nap and was cranky all day.  Oh well.  At least half the day was awesome!  Yup, Channing still loves pouring water everywhere.  And sitting in it....

Merry Christmas

By
It was a white Christmas here in Meridian, Idaho.  On Christmas Eve we went to church for an hour and then came home and let Channing and Mckenzie each open one present.  We made peanut butter blossoms for Santa's cookies.  And we wrote letter's to Santa.  We also watched mormon messages about the birth of Christ.  For a few weeks the kids were earning pieces of straw to put in Jesus's manger.  Each good act or deed equaled a piece of straw placed in the manger.  Then on Christmas Eve we placed Jesus in the manger and talked about how all our acts of kindness created a nice, soft bed for baby Jesus to lay in.  It was a great visual for them.  (I got this idea from my Relief Society last year.) Making cookies. Mckenzie opened a book from the Crawford's.   Channing got a fort building kit from the Crawford's. Letter's the Santa.   These cute kids. Who knew Mckenzie wanted a puppy.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

By
I'm really getting tired of school.  I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school.  Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks.  It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework.  I guess it's my way of procrastinating.  Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing.  Above is zucchini.  Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche.  Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind.  There's always some assignment I should be working on.  (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.)  School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN.  I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
